<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 50119, member: 1859&quot;]Although I haven&#039;t come across any counterfeit state quarters, it&#039;s quite possible that&#039;s exactly what you&#039;ve got.&nbsp; How much does it weigh?&nbsp; Is the design sharp, or is it mushy?&nbsp; What is the microscopic surface texture like?&nbsp; Is it attracted to a magnet?&nbsp; What does the reeding look like?&nbsp; What does the metal look like where you&#039;ve scraped away the surface.&nbsp; These questions are germane to determining whether it is a fake or a wierd off-metal error.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, any scraping should be done on the rim, as it will be least noticeable there.&nbsp; It should also be done with a scalpel under a microscope.&nbsp; Many folks frown on invasive tests, but I have found them useful on many occasions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
